Full solar analysis · fictional sample
Know whether solar fits this roof before requesting quotes.
A property-specific view of solar viability, usable roof fit, conceptual system range, production potential, constraints, and the checks still required.
This property appears worth a full solar design. Sun exposure and roof geometry are favorable; roof condition is the main item to verify before proceeding.
Sample values only. A purchased analysis is calculated for the submitted property.
The decision in one screen
A strong fit, with one important hold point.
The roof appears to offer useful solar area and favorable exposure. The system should not be finalized until roof condition and remaining life are confirmed.
- Conceptual system
- 6.0-8.2 kW DC range, preliminary
- Likely panel range
- 14-19 panels 430 W reference module
- Modeled production
- 8,700-12,400 kWh/yr · range, not a guarantee
- Candidate roof area
- 850-1,100 ft² Before final setbacks
Why it earned a B+
The grade shows both opportunity and friction.
Each factor is scored separately so a promising roof does not hide an unresolved condition, shade, or layout issue.
Broad roof exposure with limited apparent tree cover in the available imagery.
Two useful roof planes; hips, valleys, and setbacks reduce the theoretical maximum.
Chimney and roof penetrations appear manageable with standard layout clearances.
Roof condition and remaining service life require an on-site inspection.
Conceptual system range
Enough detail to compare quotes without inventing a final design.
The range brackets a practical residential system using the apparent roof fit. A final design may move after shade modeling, fire setbacks, electrical review, module selection, and a site survey.
Savings require the homeowner’s electric usage, tariff, export rules, financing, degradation, and escalation assumptions. Those inputs are not available here.
What happens next
Turn preliminary potential into a quote-ready design.
- 01
Confirm roof condition and remaining service life.
- 02
Model shade and setbacks on each usable roof plane.
- 03
Match the system range to 12 months of electric usage.
- 04
Verify structural, electrical, fire-code, utility, and permit requirements.
One address, one clear grade, and the evidence needed to request better quotes.
Fictional sample data. Preliminary planning analysis only; not a permit, structural assessment, electrical design, construction drawing, production guarantee, or financial forecast. Final design requires field verification and applicable structural, electrical, fire-code, utility, and permitting review.
